1. In a wok, heat enough oil to fry the half red bell pepper, chopped celery, the white onion, the garlic cloves and the bacon. Also sprinkle with a fair amount of ground cumin and about half the amount of clove (you can use 1 fresh clove instead).






2. Stir often until all flavors start to blend and then add the basil and parsley leaves. Also, add the green beans and chopped chives. Keep over high heat.


3. Toss the sprouts into the wok. Salt and pepper. Stir for a couple of minutes and add the lentils and the chicken broth.











4. Cover with a lid and let boil for 20 minutes, or until lentils are soft, at medium heat.






5. Add the lime's juice and voilá! 
Serve and decorate!





P.S. For variations, add zucchini, tomato, spinach, ginger...
